Added DiffLines:

* ButtMonkey: Wendy is constantly ignored and cheated out of her rightful credit for her paper, and her grievances are shrugged off by the other characters, who have SkewedPriorities. She even fails to do good at the end, although she does get Mr. Garrison to step down and give up his mission to kill Kathie Lee.


Added DiffLines:

** The climax of this episode takes place on the town's book depository, which will never appear again on any future episodes (something which Matt and Trey acknowledge in the DVD commentary), although it might've been destroyed in one of the season's many invasions and they didn't bother rebuilding it.


Added DiffLines:

* IgnoredExpert: Wendy is clearly more knowledgeable on certain subjects than her own teacher, though unfortunately he's the one to grade the papers. Subverted at the end when Garrison actually listens to her insight and gives up his mission to kill Kathie Lee (although Mr. Hat is not as forgiving).


Added DiffLines:

** As it turns out, Garrison ''agrees'' with this take, which is part of the reason why Wendy's paper didn't win.


Added DiffLines:

* SoreLoser:
** Downplayed with Wendy, who is upset at Cartman outdoing her at the presentation, but is more angry that he more than likely cheated on his paper (which he did), and most of her efforts are spent trying to expose him.
** Exaggerated with Garrison, who is so resentful that Kathie Lee bested him at a talent show that years later he tries to ''kill'' her as revenge.

Spelling/grammar fix(es)


** During the school play rehearsal, he pioneer kids clearly take some delight in beating up the Indian kids, with Stan beating Clyde to a pulp with the butt of his gun [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness and Butters throttling Pip while punching him in the face]]. It doesn't help that Pip and Kenny, two of the show's resident {{Butt Monkey}}s are also featured amongst the Indians.
